How to adjust a "easy link"

On a GMT2 band, mine has the easy link out and too loose would like to push it in and get it a little tighter, but unsure of how to prceed.

There are three positions you can make small adjustments to....
Use a springbar tool to press in the bar holding the easy link in the clasp, and slide it to the next position in the direction you need!

Joe, you don't need tools to adjust the easy link. It just sort of pulls out and then you swing it over or out (depending on which way you're going) and then it snaps back in. What Sleddog is referring to is the clasp adjustments to make the band bigger or smaller. But the easy link is another separate adjustment from that which doesn't require tools.

I'm assuming Joe knows how to open and close the link from his first post...?

It basicaly folds over itself.
If closed, just pull up to open. If open, just fold it back and clip it down on its self..

I recommend a Bergeon 6767 springbar tool for the now very common Rolex springbars. It is cheap and works fine for most needs on a watch.
